Here Andrea and Sara from the Lime Street salon share their tips and secrets for fabulous Grand National hair ...

Don’t rely on the favourite

Going to the races is a big deal for a lot of women. It isn’t your typical night out, so don’t be afraid to try something different with your hair. If you usually wear it down, why not go for a chic up do, or if you have a ‘go-to’ hair up try letting your hair down and stand out from the crowd with some chic curls?

It’s a long day at the races (and in the pub afterwards) so don’t go for a look that is too high maintenance, it’ll start flagging towards the end of the race. This is why the effortless, boho look can be a good look for the early spring race – it’s loose enough to stay looking good from the champagne breakfast until the night cap!

A photo finish

We all know that the paps are out in force for the races so make sure your hair is picture perfect beforehand. Having your hair freshly coloured for gloss and shine, a fresh cut to add bounce and movement or a smoothing treatment will keep your hair on course.
